CANNA SUBSTRA

CANNA SUBSTRA is the nutrient for cultivating plants in systems in which the drainage water is not returned to the nutrient tank but drains away. An advantage of these systems is that plants get fresh nutrients at each feed. This minimizes the risk of diseases. Also, the substrates used in these systems are mostly inert. This means they don't add or take nutrient elements from the nutrient solution, so you can grow with precision.

These systems are called run-to-waste or open hydroponic systems. CANNA SUBSTRA is the nutrient that is most used for these systems.

Tip Mixing nutrients

Measuring the nutrient reservoir works as follows: Take EC/ppm as the starting point, measure it and determine whether it should be higher or lower, based on the values shown in the instructions. Only then should you adjust the pH if necessary. Try to get the nutrient solution’s pH value correct at the first attempt.
